Greetings!

As we close out the month of thankfulness, I want to extend my appreciation for the partnership, warmth, and community spirit that make our school such a special place.

A heartfelt thank you to the wonderful panel of parents who participated in our Outplacement Town Hall for Rising Kindergarteners. Your openness, insights, and honest reflections were invaluable to our families as they navigate next steps for their children. We are grateful for your time and willingness to share your experiences. I look forward to our Creekside Townhall in January for Blue Sky and Woodland Families.

We are proud to participate in the Greg Gannon Canned Food Drive. Collection bins will be available in the lobby throughout the remainder of the week. Thank you in advance for supporting local families in need. Every donation makes a difference. The Greg Gannon Canned Food Drive distributes to over 50 food banks throughout the DC Area.

We are deeply grateful to all families who have already contributed to the Annual Fund. Your generosity directly enhances our programs, supports our teachers, and enriches the daily experience of every child in our school. If your employer offers company matching, please reach out to me directly—I am happy to assist with the process to ensure your gift goes even further.

We believe in the importance of outdoor play, even as the temperatures drop! Please remember to dress your child in warm layers or pack extra clothing to keep them comfortable for outdoor activities during the colder months.

Thank you for being part of such a warm and engaged community. Wishing you all a wonderful and meaningful holiday season!

Nicole

the Woodlands and Creekside children

to participate in

The 2025 Christmas Pageant

Rehearsal Saturday, December 13

10:00am - 12:00pm

Performance Sunday, December 14

at the 10:00am Worship Service

in the CCPC Sanctuary

https://www.chevychasepc.org/

4 year-olds and Pre-K children are invited to be manger animals (stuffed animals happily included!) and do not need to come to the dress rehearsal. Manger animals should arrive on the day of the pageant at 9:15 am at Chadsey Hall, the fellowship space directly below the church sanctuary, to select a costume. Once dressed, animals sit with their family in a pew and come forward when called to the front during the 10 am service. If your child would like to join the Angel Choir to sing "Away in the Manger" and "Angels We Have Heard on High", please plan to come to the dress rehearsal if you can.



Please contact Assistant Music Director Luke Stowell ASAP to let him know your interest and availability
